[@acdaincorg]

Great vid, easy to understand for us sheep dogs with no military training. Looking forward to the series. Until then. . . . Be Blessed.

[@cyberbadger]

I've been a scout and used topo maps but never was taught the details of UTM, very cool.

[@mtower235]

There are a lot of support troops that have mastered this as well. Thats how you got resupplied to stay "special". Good stuff, looking forward to the rest of it

[@Ravengate100]

Great basic presentation that made it easier to understand than I have ever seen. Anxiously await next segment. Thanks

[@usmokem22]

Excellent Nav Vid...our SAR Team will appreciate your teaching...Excellent! Looking forward to the next in the Nav series.

[@G36Jeff]

@GM thank you so much. This series will be so helpful to people. I know it's going to help me. Thanks. Jeff

[@IntenseAngler]

Excellent presentation... very concise and easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to put this series together.

[@Patriotalliance]

Excellent ! Looking forward to the next in the series.

[@AnabolicAsylum]

Wow. You are great at simplifying and summarizing info.

[@theanimalmuppet]

Absolutely great vid. I have searched youtube for this info before but it is always confusing. Perfect explanation and pictures. I cannot wait for the next one. Thanks for all your good vids.

[@GuerillaGunfighter]

Thank you very much for this video/series. I plan on tracking 18x in two years once I get into better shape and have gotten more knowledge with land nav and foreign languages. This will help greatly.

[@1oldarmyguy]

This is one of the best explanations I've heard. Looking forward to the next 4 parts. Keep up the great work.

[@ShinobiHOG]

This is pretty much exactly what I am trying to learn about right now, so thank you.....

[@friendofcoal]

Center impact area Grafenwoehr, W. Germany (at the time) Grid: 0409 ele: 425 m. (approx.). Good video. This brings back ole' memories for an old 13E (FDC). I only made it to one FX in Wildflecken. Look forward to the rest....

[@RandallSteen]

You are a very good instructor. Better than anything in bootcamp or A school.

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Awesome! Thanks for the kind words. I have a lot of respect for the Search and Rescue folks. Keep up the great work! Many blessings --GM

[@GunWebsites]

Great vid.. looking forward to the rest !!

[@WanderingR0gue]

Good to see some new posts from you analytical!! Looks like a good series that everyone should watch!

[@fastm3980]

You and John from Map my tools are awesome. Everything explained perfect. I love messing with maps and hiking and pin pointing my location on my map and then compare it to my gps. Always fun in the woods

[@mrcyrano222]

Great refresher, last time I got this infor was 1980 at Parris Island. Its been a bit. As always great work

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Thanks so much, and Semper Fi. Many blessings --GM

[@grantlandneil]

Great video. Thank you for the useful information. I look forward to learning more from you. Thanks again

[@TacticalIsland]

I'm excited about this series.

[@fighting17chicago]

Good info but short! Don't be afraid of making us longer ones!

[@DESERTDIPL0MAT]

Great vid, as always. Looking forward to the rest.

[@CampfireTalk]

looking forward to this series, w/o a map & compass I'd still be lost in the woods : )

[@TheCrage07]

Liked and subbed. Will keep a lookout for the newer videos. Thanks for this man.

[@TacticoolNinja]

Finally a new video!! Great video as always, still waiting on the update on the bug out bag, and EDC. Hope all is well, Thank you!

[@jamestollett]

This is something that I am lacking in my toolbox, Thanks for doing this series. I know how to use a map in the city, but I haven't used it since I discovered google maps. Will you be addressing where to get quality maps in your final segment on map types? I am assuming I could still order USGS maps & co-ordinate them with standard road maps or an atlas. Thank You for putting out quality information.

[@r4venmoon]

Thanks this is one of the most important skills I think you can learn. I only know military variation Land Nav and some basics of the wild. I need to learn civilian skills on this and practice. I dont like to rely on batteries for a PLUGR, DAGGR or any other GPS device nor the laziness of it, however it is easier to work smart and not hard. I understand under extreme duress math and orientation get foggy. I look foreword to the next one.

[@Optionsaregood]

Thanks for posting this way too many people these days rely too much on GPS.

[@rudenewt]

Outstanding! Well done.

[@TheTSFChannel]

Dang! Stole my thunder, bro! Exactly where I was going next. Great graphics, too! Will you please answer this question in part 2: Why are there 7-digits in a UTM Northing? I've been in every TM, FM, online, and I can't find the reason. It's the thing that effs me up trying to explain the difference between UTM and MGRS when reconciling grid accuracy. Why the odd number? Thanks!

[@LarsLondian]

Great video, I look forward to seeing part 2.

[@wlscaudill]

Great video, looking forward to next. Looks like you updated your web gear a bit, will we see an update on that in the future?

[@Dagobert1234]

Thank you very much for the erfrech course of the Land nav course, blessings

[@14u762]

I have just finished a video entitled: 'The Bug Out Bag - Revisited' - and in that video I thoroughly go over my updated Web Gear. Thanks for watching and many blessings --GM

[@buzzsah]

Vary good 3 part nav/map. I may have missed it but where can one buy the maps at a fair price including mil. type ?

[@Jeff-vp9vz]

Did you finish this series? I can't find Part 4 & 5. Excellent series BTW.

[@Enbloc3]

Great info as always..thanks

[@timbateman7202]

Very well explained, thanks. It might even save my life (or rather get me home on time). :-)

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Sorry, brother. Glitch in the system on our side. I am working to fix it. Part 2 should be up by today. Thanks for tuning in! Many blessings --GM

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Appreciated, brother! Part 3 posting this week. Many blessings --GM

[@trooper2221]

Ok are the central meridians marked in any way on a map?

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

LOL! Roger that - next install coming in a couple of days. Hang tight, brother, and we'll get you out before dinner time (pun intended). Many blessings --GM

[@Syvs]

That was easy! Thank you.

[@jonwithnoh7]

Great info, looking forward to all the subsequent modules. I think people rely too much on GPS technology, this will ruin map and compass skills.

[@HerbWalker]

I was a SSG (E-6) in a 19 Delta Scout Platoon. I trained my Scouts to use and KNOW land nav. Maps, Compass, protractor ,all of it. Do they not teach this in the US Army anymore? Thanks "Scouts OUT"

[@buzzsah]

Thank you

[@SurvivalRox]

Thanks sir

[@mdlagreca]

thank you!

[@thomasnewbery7449]

It's Christmas, 2019. I've viewed Parts 1 - 3. I have searched in vain for 4 and 5. I have viewed hundreds of vids on "land navigation" and "compass navigation", and NO ONE has had such excellent diction, graphics, and structure to their instruction. I hope and pray you are well, sir. If not, woiuld someone please inform us? USAF E7 ret'd, 1984. 533rd Field Traning Detachment.

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Perhaps one day I'll return and finish off Parts 4 and 5. In the meantime, I am grateful for your appreciation and support, my brother! We are all well here...in spite of the COVID-19 quarantine....thanks be to God. I hope you and your family are likewise safe. Keep up the great work, my brother, and most of all thank you for your service. Many blessings --GM

[@garybradshaw2975]

@@AnalyticalSurvival Can I ask why you haven't done Land Navigation parts 4 and 5 especially when so many of your subscribers have asked for it. Please do them, I'm sure your more than capable. God Bless

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

USGS or MyTopo. Many blessings --GM

[@brucewayne-cave]

You kick butt !

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

United States Geological Survey. Or, MyTopo. Google each. Many blessings --GM

[@huydo1930]

very helpful info sir

[@trooper2221]

I don't understand when I would have to calculate easting like that.

[@GySgtHassle]

Thanks

[@theMRAAA]

A+.

[@ronhansen6828]

For one hell of a good mobile phone Land Nav app, goto Google Play Store and download Land Nav for Dummies by Ranger Ron. It will greatly increase your Land Nav skills!

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

Will have to check that out. Thanks for the information, my brother! Many blessings --GM

[@AppalachianFreedom]

It would have been nice if they would have bothered to have at least mentioned some of this stuff in School!

[@wheredidileavemycell]

Roger

[@jerrynemeth6735]

wait... curvature of the earth??

[@cchgn]

why can't you just stick to creeks, rivers, roads and RR? If you go cross country, you get into peoples' properties. The frown n that.

[@Inviting1word]

I would like to like just dont want to be the 666th person to do so... Ill circle back. But subscribed and Commented.

[@AnalyticalSurvival]

+Inviting1word LOL! You're probably right in doing so. You made my night with a good laugh! Many blessings --GM

[@Inviting1word]

God Bless sir. I appreciate the Information, but honestly I pray I will never have to use it. If I do, hope to see you in the woods! Going to learn wild edible too so i'll cook lol. Night brother.

[@Inviting1word]

I believe you're confused, I said I would not like just yet because i would be the 666th. So i told him that I would come back, and i did, hit the like button, and i did. So sir if you could keep you're snide comments to your self it would be appreciated, at least un-till you read and understand the proper context of your response. Unless you're trying to sow striff, then i rebuke you for it brother. God Bless, In Christ, your brother Michael.
